Hello, hello operator
O, hello mom, this is me, Jack
Yeah, quite a surprise ain’t it
 I thought I'd phone tonight, mom
Gee, I've got so much to tell, I don’t know where to begin
Mom, I made my solo flight
And the boys say I'm doing swell, yah
I wish that you were here to see me go up in the air, mom
Like a rocket
Listen Mom, you remember Sally Lou, don’t you?
The girl who lives next door
Yeah, she’s cute I know that
Will you find out exactly who
She's really waiting for, mom?
Gee, I sorta kinda hope it's me

What’s that you say, mom?
O, the food! Sure mom, the food is okay
Could be worse anyway
And you know what lately we got a raise in pay
Yeah, I’m getting rich, mom
And those bonds that you're buying
Well, I used to laugh abou them
But they keep us flyin'
And it sure makes the whole darn thing okay

Well mom, I guess this is it
I do a lot of things
You really don't expect me to
But I’ll be okay when I get home
I hope that dad won't mind I called collect
But well mom, you know how it is
I just had to say, "Hello Mom"
Hello, long distance, I want to place a call
A person to person call
To my best girl, the grandest girt of all

 Hello mom, I thought I'd phone tonight
I've got so much to tell, I made my solo flight
They say I'm doing swell
I wish that you were here to see
Listen Mom, remember Sally Lou?
The girl who lives next door
Find out exactly who
She's really waiting for
I sorta kinda hope it's me
Sure Mom, the food is mighty good
And lately we got a raise in pay
And the bonds that you're buying
That are keepin' us flyin'
Makes the whole darn thing okay

So long Mom, I do a lot of things
You really don't expect
I hope that dad won't mind I called collect
But I just had to say, "Hello Mom"
